Yep, another person with a Bullshido thread. He was found selling certifications on Ebay.

Interesting that he is selling selling certs. Wow the circle continues to grow.

OK Mr. Solomon, I will give you some lattitude for nowon the American Kenpo area......for now! I will say that you took the time to buy the videos, watch them, and put your name on the 3rd degree certificate that comes with that program. Even without having to test or spend time in grade for each rank.

Yes, I and those that train in American Kenpo or other legit forms of Kenpo(Kajukenbo, Tracy's,...) do take offense to you using the name Kenpo when you have not actually trained in Kenpo. You watched some videos and filled your name in on the certificate. Why would I be mad, after spending hours in the school, sweating, getting bruised and battered, for you to be using the name of a group of martial systems? I guess that since you did that, I will start saying I am ranked in your style, having watched some of your videos online. What would be the harm in that? Its fraudulant, that why!!!

Since, I suspect that you will be lurking here to see how this develops, would you mind telling us who promoted you to the 6th degree rankings you currently hold? And the 5th degree? And the othe BB ranks?

Don't worry about your sites being hacked, there are plenty of other sites that have your information on them.

Also, for teaching small kids in your area, I saw no videos of you teaching kids of any size. I only saw you teaching adults.

Mr. Solomon, I am not trying to be a bad guy here, but I have heard your defensive statements used on this site before by other people.

PLease help us get some clarity on your association with known frauds and your associaiton with Mr. Valez. This way we can put your part to rest and continue with this investigation. Thank you.

I missed that one. I would be happy to contact Ari and ask him if he has any affiliation with Mr. Solomon. And if he knows that Mr. Solomon is using the Submissions 101 banner on his site.

So, upon further research, it appears that Mr. Velez has attempted to get rank from TJD Kempo. From the post listed here: http://tjdkempo.blogspot.com/2011/08...-and-rank.html it appears that Mr. Velez tried to give rank to the founder of the TJD Kempo style. As to what end, the article does not say, but it does indicate that Mr. Velez was kicked out and that all the rank and certificates he bestowed on the sites owner, have been destroyed.

I will make an attempt to contact the TJD Kempo people about this situation and I will also inquire about their training history and qualifications.

OK, I found information on Mr Corrigan and it does not look to be helpful to the investigation. Initially, it looks as if Mr. Corrigan is a part of the same circle of individuals as Mr. Valez. Here is a link to information on Mr. Corrigan: http://sgjfederation.com/?page_id=54

It seems like everyone tied to sgjfederation are all in the same boat. Looking to make themselves look like legit MAists, by ranking each other. I will still try to get information regarding the falling out Mr. Corrigan had with Mr. Valez.

GOTCHA. Hutchinson was never ranked under Parker , *produce* the certificate. Hutchinson studied under Jay T. Will and I'd like to see a Dan rank cert on that one too. Though he's been alleged to be ShiDan or Godan under Will ( Tracy umbrella) there's been a good deal of controversy on that one. Granted there's some controversy about some other promotions during the era when old Jay T. had his well known "problems".

Here let's just shortcut this , there's already one person in here that's under John Sepulveda and I'm betting that he can drag John , Diane Tanaka and some others into this. Me well say the word and I'll call Al Tracy , Ric Alemany and Castro's kids , maybe get a few of the old Emperado crowd from the East Bay in on this.

Quit attempting to jerk folks around on this , there's another thread going in a different section that connects your little circle jerk nest of warts on Ken(m)pos posterior and general " you rub my certificate and I'll rub yours" general clusterfuck together.

This one *really* makes the old " birds of a feather" adage ring true.
